Basketball Game-Personal Narrative

Basketball Game
The cold and freezing morning started our day to the

basketball game. The team all in warm coats and fur

hats. They hopped on the bus getting ready to go to

Cosaco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. On the way to the

game we stopped because there was construction. All I

could see was men in yellow hardhats and orange jackets

walking and working hard . When we got past the

construction we were on our way to the game. When we

pulled in the fans all in warm

clothes were yelling and screaming when we got off the

bus. The fans were wanting autographs and

pictures. As we were going into the place to play the

team stopped and looked at the fieldhouse before walking

into it. You could see the smoke come from their mouth as they got off the bus. When they got to the locker room they were hanging up their uniforms to make them little warm before they put them on. The team was getting warm and putting their uniforms on when one kid forgot his uniform on the bus so he and the assistant coach by the time the assistant coach and the kid got back in we getting ready to play our first game. We were playing a team from Ohio, they were good but we were better. We beat them by 5 points it was 55 to 50. Our next game wasn’t till 2:00 so we were watching other teams in our pool play to see what teams were better or could beat us. The next team we played was the best team we would face they were beating us 35 to 20 at halftime. The second half the team turned it around and caught back up with them. They called a timeout when it was 42 to 36. From that point on we came back to win 61 to 59. It was a close game, but the next team was even harder they were bigger and faster. They thought they could win easily but the team showed up to play and at half it was 26 to 23 they were just a little bit better than us. When the second half started the coach for their team must have got something into them because they were winning 40 to 28. After that point our team just gave up and we lost big time 72 to 58. That was the team first lost in the pool play. Our coach said these games don’t matter because they and just some warm up games. After that we finished second in our pool play and we got to see who we would be playing. We watched the other teams play before we did and we played a team that was alright but we killed them 62 to 45. Our team won its next four games and we were one game away from the championship. If we won we would go to the championship, if …show more content…
The crowd started to count down 17, 16,

15, 14 and we were playing good defense when my

teammate stole the ball and made a layup to put the

game away. We won 74 to 72. We were in the

championship game hoping that we would not have to

play that team again. The team that we wanted to play

lost by thirty points. Everybody that came to watch was

sitting and ready for the game it took us a long time to get

here and we were not going to give up. The game was getting ready to start and I

was really nervous my teammates told me to calm down and play like we have been

all day. The team we were playing was from Kokomo and they were tried because

they had to play back to back. We came out on fire and we were winning 16 to 8

and they called their first timeout of the game. After that it went back and forth

when it was halftime the score was 33 to 30 they were winning because the referees

called it their way. Our coach talked to us for the whole halftime so we could not

even get out there to warm up for the second half. Jake one of my teammates

dribbled the ball up the court to start the second half and passed it to me wide
